CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE (“CCPL” OR “LICENSE”). THE WORK IS
PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK

<h2 id="definitions">1. Definitions</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>“Adaptation”</strong> means a work based upon the Work, or
upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation,
adaptation, derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations
of a literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes
cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be
recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably
derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a
Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this
License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work,
performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in
timed-relation with a moving image (“synching”) will be considered an
Adaptation for the purpose of this License.</li>
<li><strong>“Collection”</strong> means a collection of literary or
artistic works, such as encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances,
phonograms or broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than
works listed in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection
and arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in
which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along with
one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a
collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this
License.</li>

the original and copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate,

analogous to photography; a work of applied art; an illustration, map,
plan, sketch or three-dimensional work relative to geography,
topography, architecture or science; a performance; a broadcast; a
phonogram; a compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a
copyrightable work; or a work performed by a variety or circus performer
to the extent it is not otherwise considered a literary or artistic

<li><strong>“You”</strong> means an individual or entity exercising
rights under this License who has not previously violated the terms of
this License with respect to the Work, or who has received express
permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License
despite a previous violation.</li>
<li><strong>“Publicly Perform”</strong> means to perform public
recitations of the Work and to communicate to the public those public
recitations, by any means or process, including by wire or wireless
means or public digital performances; to make available to the public
Works in such a way that members of the public may access these Works
from a place and at a place individually chosen by them; to perform the
Work to the public by any means or process and the communication to the
public of the performances of the Work, including by public digital
performance; to broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means
including signs, sounds or images.</li>
<li><strong>“Reproduce”</strong> means to make copies of the Work by any
means including without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the

<h2 id="fair-dealing-rights">2. Fair Dealing Rights</h2>
<p>Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any
uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or
exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright
protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.</p>
<h2 id="license-grant.">3. License Grant.</h2>
<p>Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor hereby
grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in
the Work as stated below:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
Collections;</p></li>
<li><p>to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such
Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable
steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes
were made to the original Work. For example, a translation could be
marked “The original work was translated from English to Spanish,” or a
modification could indicate “The original work has been
modified.”;</p></li>
<li><p>to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as
incorporated in Collections; and,</p></li>
<li><p>to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.</p></li>
<li><p>For the avoidance of doubt:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes</strong>. In those
jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any
statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor
reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise
by You of the rights granted under this License;</li>
<li><strong>Waivable Compulsory License Schemes</strong>. In those
jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any
statutory or compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor
waives the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by
You of the rights granted under this License; and,</li>
<li><strong>Voluntary License Schemes</strong>. The Licensor waives the
right to collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that
the Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers
voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise by You
of the rights granted under this License.</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p>The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether
now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to
make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the
rights in other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights
not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.</p>
<h2 id="restrictions">4. Restrictions</h2>
<p>The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to
and limited by the following restrictions:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on
the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the
recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient
under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You
must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute or
Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You
may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that
restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the
rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This
Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but
this does not require the Collection apart from the Work itself to be
made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collection,
upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
remove from the Collection any credit as required by Section 4(b), as
requested. If You create an Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor
You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any
credit as required by Section 4(b), as requested.</li>
<li>If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations
or Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or
parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
attribution (“Attribution Parties”) in Licensor’s copyright notice,
terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or
parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent
reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be
associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and (iv) ,
consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit
identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., “French
translation of the Work by Original Author,” or “Screenplay based on
original Work by Original Author”). The credit required by this Section
4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however,
that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit
will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation
or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at
least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.
For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this
Section for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and,
by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or
explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or
endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties,
as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate,
express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or
Attribution Parties.</li>
<li>Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations
or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other
derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to
the Original Author’s honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those
jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted
in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make Adaptations) would be
deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory
action prejudicial to the Original Author’s honor and reputation, the
Licensor will waive or not assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the
fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You
to reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License
(right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="representations-warranties-and-disclaimer">5. Representations,
Warranties and Disclaimer</h2>
<p>UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING,
LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY
OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE,
MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR
THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF
ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.</p>
<h2 id="limitation-on-liability">6. Limitation on Liability</h2>
<p>EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
<h2 id="termination">7. Termination</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
survive any termination of this License.</li>
<li>Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here
is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
stated above.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="miscellaneous">8. Miscellaneous</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a
Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work
on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under
this License.</li>
<li>Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms
and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.</li>
<li>If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
enforceable.</li>
<li>No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.</li>
<li>This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may
appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified
without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.</li>
<li>The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and
the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These
rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in
which the License terms are sought to be enforced according to the
corresponding provisions of the implementation of those treaty
provisions in the applicable national law. If the standard suite of
rights granted under applicable copyright law includes additional rights
not granted under this License, such additional rights are deemed to be
included in the License; this License is not intended to restrict the
license of any rights under applicable law.</li>
